Murata Launches Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module for Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata is now selling a new module called "Type 2GF" that combines Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology in a compact design. This module is designed to help power battery-operated IoT devices and is produced in collaboration with Infineon Technologies.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now required based on the specific application. In the case of devices powered by batteries, there is a need for wireless communication functions to have lower power consumption.
To meet the increased need for low power consumption, Murata utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product that includes the CYW43022 chip. This chip allows for connectivity to be maintained even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. By reducing power consumption at the system level, the product is more energy-efficient. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
